Choosing a coffee table for everyday living
A coffee table is part of the way a living room works. Before choosing a finish, think about what happens around it: morning coffee, family evenings, a quick laptop session or a place to put things away.
Start with the space
Measure the area in front of your sofa, then mark the proposed table footprint on the floor. Walk around it and check access to drawers, doors and seating. Leave enough room for the way your household moves.
Decide what the table needs to do
A lift-top design can bring the surface closer when you need it and keep everyday objects out of sight. Compare the dimensions in both open and closed positions before deciding. Our Lisbon lift-top coffee table combines a lifting top with concealed storage and a patterned front.
Choose a finish that belongs in the room
Look at flooring, fabrics and existing wood finishes together. You do not need everything to match: contrast can give a room character. For a stronger colour statement, explore the Bolla olive-green coffee table.
Plan for its arrival
Check doorways, stairs and lift access as well as the space where the table will sit. Tapple Tree furniture is made to order, with an estimated delivery time of 45 days. Confirm delivery for your address with our team before ordering.
